"Installation facile," they said. Not how I would have described it, but since I did not plummet from a gigantic upper floor window while standing on a mantlepiece, I am calling it a win.

That took me AGES, but then it took about 90 seconds for this:

I am so sorry Ron and Lapin and Alice have not returned. My heart breaks for you and I am sending all of the hugs. xxx I am also confident you will be able to keep Cleo entertained inside.

I would love a place where I could have a catio. If I wind up in an upper floor apartment again I will probably do something like this:

Sign that the Buckingham Nicks album (1973) will finally be re-mastered/re-released or Sign of the Apocalypse? Either seems possible.

Wordle 1,460 5/6* ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 This one was annoying, but I am mildly placated by this:

My Wordle solutions compared to the Bot's, in hard mode with no spoilers. We both needed 5 (!) tries. My solution was 38% luck and the Bot's was 37% luck.

I haven't thought of a style question yet, but here's my receipt:

Yet another four, but the Bot and I are as one today it seems. @lisaazbirder.bsky.social @propcazhpm.bsky.social @katgranz.bsky.social Wordle 1,436 4/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟨⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

The Bot and I have been getting along a little better of late. Note this one where it admitted its solution required more luck than mine did! All of a sudden, the Bot is being more gracious. Who'd have thunk it? 😉

Side-by-side Wordle solutions (too old to be spoilers). Wordle Bot got "Ladle" in 4 with 59 percent luck and I got it in 3 with 53 percent luck.

I had an unprecedented "can see the Bot and tied with the Bot even on luck percentage" today.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

Note the subscription rate they are offering to those of us who cancelled, which smacks of desperation.

Text of a "We're sorry to see you go" message from The Washington Post to a cancelling subscriber, offering a discounted rate of 15 Euros for the next year to reactivate.

DJT probably only wanted "Dixie," but Elvis's version of "American Trilogy" ends with the soaring crescendo of the Union Army anthem "Battle Hymn of the Republic," acknowledging the North's Civil War win as good. So I see this as DJT's team: "We've played the ANTI-slavery version by mistake!"

Pic is the familiar meme of two storm-soaked men saying "we've ______ by mistake!"

Even in such extenuating circumstances, "DeSantis praises Biden administration" is not something I ever expected to see:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and his administration are complimenting the Biden administration, including Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell, in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. (from Washington Post online)

At a press briefing in Fort Pierce on Thursday afternoon, DeSantis and state Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie said FEMA is being helpful with arranging expedited funding for the massive debris-removal task facing the state after back-to-back hurricanes in the past two weeks.

He did address this (at the bad place):

Twitter thread from @DrVolts saying he is pleasantly surprised by Biden-to-Harris campaign transition "with such good vibes" but still expects the political media to "start fomenting infighting" as soon as it figures out how to do so after having been caught off guard.

So they think letting climate-change deniers control the whole government, again, won't pose any problem?

Graphic re "America's Jaded Youth Voting" showing far too many believe "it doesn't matter who wins elections; nothing changes."

So loss of reproductive freedom doesn't matter to them then? Because that sure as Hell happened because of who wound up in the White House on January 20, 2017!

Jess and Ben, the latter in his harness. Jess did not have to wear one because she wasn't fast enough to outrun me. 😀 Hard to believe that was 13 years ago now.
